During a high-stakes bilawal bhutto ajk rally in the Bagh district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on 8 August 2026, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari warned the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) that its federal rule in Islamabad could be at risk if it continues to make unilateral moves in AJK. Bilawal claimed that certain elements within the ruling PML-N are actively trying to sow division among political allies and undermine Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The address marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the two major coalition partners who currently share power in the federal government. The dispute centers on the political setup and government formation in Muzaffarabad, where both parties have competing interests.
